Still trying to understand...

Let me restate it:
1. Registration queue disabled (unchecked)
2. e-mail verification enabled (checked)

With these settings, I didn't have to approve my "test" user in the queue. As a new test user, I simply clicked on the e-mail notice from the system and I was able to login successfully.

So in this situation, can I assume my new registrant somehow "misplaced" the system generated e-mail, and after 24 hours of not responding, got deleted? That seems to make sense to me.

Also, perhaps these "no response" people get held up in the queue until they approve themselves via e-mail.

Gizmo, you said that I have to approve new registrants with these settings. So if this is the case why did my "test" registrant go through with me (admin) approving them?
